The Philadelphia Phillies, despite a recent slump, are tipped to win against the Minnesota Twins in the Field of Dreams showdown. The Phillies have taken 7 of their last 12 games, while the Twins have struggled with 7 losses in their last 11. Both starting pitchers have high ERAs, but Taj Bradley’s road numbers suggest the Phillies’ strong offense could thrive. Historically, the Twins lead the head-to-head, but the Phillies won the last series. Expect Philadelphia’s bats to take advantage, making them the favored pick for this matchup.

Philadelphia’s form over the past few days has been rough, but Minnesota are hardly flying themselves.

Taj Bradley’s numbers on the road are not as strong as his home stats either, so we are backing the Phillies bats to rise to the occasion in this showpiece clash.
